The latest project at our house
I’ve hated the wallpaper in the guest bathroom ever since we bought the house almost two years ago, and it took me a long time to finally pick out a pattern that I really liked. You know how it is sometimes when you love a sample of wallpaper when all you see is the one page out of the wallpaper book, but then when you see it on a large wall you don’t like it at all because the way the pattern repeats create an even larger pattern? Well, that’s the problem I was running into. I knew I didn’t want one that did that and I didn’t want one that was too small a pattern so that’s why it’s taken so long. Besides, who enjoys spending hours and hours going through wallpaper books looking for the “perfect” paper. I liked this paper and I really liked it’s border. In fact, I think it was the border than made me decide on this one. We got it done this week and I’m happy with the results.

Sorry, if there is something that proves I have Asperder’s Syndrome, it’s saying what I think, I have always been like that, and I have always had the fear of being left out, ignored. No matter how normal a life I lead, I am still thus. Forgive my rudeness. Lord Pineapple.

It’s beautiful! :goodjob:
:goodjob:I really like it! I see you like burgundy too, one of my favorite colors! I can’t see clearly enough to read what it says, would you mind telling us? :spinning:
I like the paper too, but then I didn’t see the old one, so I might have liked that one also. I just know that papered walls bring me back to childhood, when just about everyone had all the walls in their homes papered. Is there writing on this new wallpaper?
My Bohemian grandmother had walls that fairly screamed! She loved bright colors and bold patterns. To each his own.
Thanks for leaving the nice comment.

:goodjob: Looks nice, Chris. And I know what a job wallpapering is. Last time I did it, I swore it would be my last. :giggle:
I think the writing on the wallpaper is German. I’ll have to ask my son the next time they’re up from San Antonio to interpret. He took German in High School and did pretty well at it. He amazes me. He lives in San Antonio and can speak Spanish now well enough to converse with someone who only speaks Spanish and he works for a company that is owned by the Japanese, so now he’s even learning Japanese. Doesn’t know nearly as much Japanese as Spanish though, but enough to be able to communicate with the bosses.
